About this listen

When your inner critic gets loud the moment you start choosing differently, here’s a simple way to take back the wheel. In this episode, I share a real moment my inner critic shouted “failure,” then show how the line “the story I’m telling myself is…” (a framing popularized by Brené Brown) helps you label the narrative, add one counter-story that could also be true, and decide a healthier next step.

You’ll learn

Why it spikes during change (perfectionism’s boomerang).

Exactly how to use “the story I’m telling myself is…” to label the narrative, not the truth.

How to craft a counter-story to widen your choices.

The biggest pitfall: arguing with the critic (it feeds it) and what to do instead.

This episode is part of the CALIBRATE arc in my CEO framework (Calibrate → Experiment → Optimize).
